Legion's Crawl

RECOMMENDED : Ratings 6/10 (Simple, Fun, Relaxing) During the last few days, I have been having lots of fun playing this Rogue-like Dungeon crawler. I would love to recommend it because of the following reasons. Simplicity is the best attraction of this game for me. The interface is simple, and there is not much of a learning curve. It has a procedurally generated dungeon of about 16 levels and you can select 1 of 6 heroes. Each heroes has a slightly different dungeon rule (for example, no merchant but crafting station on every level, etc) so choosing a different hero is like playing a "different" type of dungeon. This game is fun because of the large number of specializations. For each hero, you can also select 6 out of about 30 skill specialization trees, which will add a lot of replay value. Then there are the interesting steam achievements. Although some of the achievements are easy, there are some really hard ones too, which will take many days to complete. The hardest one is ...

At the current stage the game is unplayable. The visionrange in corridors is one, you end up facechecking creatures as ranged char, looking in every unneceassary way, just to be sure that there ain't a room hiding. Movement uses either mouse or keyboard - 8 keys for eight directions - which you can't adjust (although the game keeps telling you, that you can). I can not navigate with my european keyboard and running with the mouse is suboptiamal, since your click is only registered as the direction where to run, instead of guiding your char in the right direction. Most of the skills and stats don't provide enought information, for example is my DMG at 8 and my Attack at -7. What is my chance of sucessfully hitting an enemy? -7? 0.93? What is the damage range of my spell? Medium Lightning damage. What is this in numbers? I could name a few other problems, but IMO this are the most grave one's to fix right now. On the other hand the game is running smooth at least.

This is a pretty fun little roguelike. I am not generally a fan of cute games, but I look past it because the game is so enjoyable. There is plenty of replayability with the different characters and the six skills you can start out with. Mixing and matching has been pretty fun so far. The game is fairly short; I beat it in two hours, but on easy. Playing on higher difficulty levels, it is deceptively hard. I have died many, many times in my 3.5 hours of play. I highly recommend using the pistol and mixing magic in. This makes you pretty darn strong. It reminds me a bit of I Am Overburdened, in that there is not much story, but lots of fun and silly gameplay. it is nice to turn my brain off and just enjoy myself. At 5 bucks, you can't really go wrong if you like roguelikes. Some people may not like the fact that you cannot move with the keyboard, but I much prefer mouse movement, so I am happy. Highly recommended game.

For the price tag, can't complain too much. Kind of boring, and the controls are a bit awkward. I didn't have a lot of fun playing it. Also this game features anthropormorphic animals as the main characters. Be advised. The main character is a human sized pink cat.

If youre a fan of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series, but wanted a more Dungeons of Dredmor feel from it, this is a definite good place to start. Legion's Crawl is a top down roguelike RPG that plays like Mystery Dungeon without the plot and in between level scenarios, but gives off a difficulty and brings choicemaking skills that one who has played Dungeons of Dredmor will remember vividly. If you are not familiar with those previosly mentioned titles, then read on, otherwise this chunk of text is dedicated to describing that, and you are free to skip this paragraph. In this game you have 8 directional movement in hallways and rooms that are revealed as you traverse them. Along the way there are monsters that only move after you move, in a turn based fashion. As you continue along the floors you amass experience, wealth, and loot, that you can use to give yourself an edge. Of course as you continue, things get harder, and the entire way along is a scamble to make the decisions that w...

I haven't played for even 30 minutes yet and I am very glad to have added this game to my Roguelike collection.

Good price and solo dungeon crawl. Graphics are so-so. Different branching skills when leveling up. Tons of replay value, which is why I got this. Game is non-offensive and programmed well.

This game wishes it was Dungeons of Dredmor so much, if only it had put in even a fraction of the time and effort it would have taken to get there. Here are some examples: EXAMPLE ONE: The grammar is waaaaaaay off. You might not think this is a real issue, but I honestly thought that there were actual 'gears' that I had to find to craft with until I realized that the author/designer (hereafter referred to as 'the chump') thought that the plural of 'gear' as in "That sure is a lot of gear for a hike." was 'gears.' The specific phrase that first confused me was, "You are sure to find lots of gears in a dungeon." Also the chump just uses the wrong words sometimes. A 'teleport' trap doesn't teleport you anywhere. I don't know what it did, but teleportation seemed to have nothing to do with any aspect of it. EXAMPLE TWO: There is zero balance to things. I understand that this is a roguelike and a certain amount of randomness is to be expected, but if a main mechanic of your game is that n...

Very bare-bones roguelike that ends surprisingly early. But the surprising part is that gameplay balance-wise it works great, and takes 20+ hours at least to truly master it. Its simplicity truly made it inviting to master. One serious flaw is that save files are easily corrupted. The only thing aside from my general positive experience keeping me from making this a negative review, is that you should generally win or lose within 2 hours.

Saved game corrupted and erased every time I try to load a game at floor 7 or so. Happened 3 times so far (no game updates in between). Besides that, even though I do not like the art style, it looks like a decent rogue-like gameplay-wise. If they patch the loading bug and I am able to play further, I may change my review. As it is now, I do not have the patience to re-do the first few floors once again and risk loosing my progress without death. I am too busy to be able to do a walkthrough in one session.
